EOI: Leatherette Seat Covers

[MaxFromAUS]

Do you have any pictures of the seats with the logo embroidered ?I'm trying to decide what will look best.
Thanks

I have never worried about the logo in the previous group buys, due to the reason that never requested from Aus buyers.
However, UK buyers requested the logo and first time I am able to supply seat covers with embossed FTO logo.
Although below picture is not my product, it will look the same, and at the same locations

There's a couple of different stiching styles in those pictures. Is it extra to get the stitching done in the square pattern?

I dont supply that stitching pattern, however, will look into the possibilities.

Sticking in my name, its for a mate (Nigel) whos not on the forums:

[Kace]

Should have read your earlier post CJ

Max - you have quoted the following on the UK FTOOC

I am hoping to have an aggrement with the Club by the end of next week.

After that group buy can start processing immediately.

What agreement are you referring to with the Club ? Is a further discount being negotiated here ? If so, many of us here in Ireland are also paid members of the FTOOC and would be eligible.

You also mention that you need 7 more before you will proceed - is this including the numbers signed up between both the FTOOC and FTO-Ireland ? Are we both joining up to make up the overall numbers here ?

Kace, UK club has advised me that they have changed the rules for group buys. This means that they want to have some sort of control over group buys. They are not sure yet as how to control, which is delaying the group buy start time. So, this aggrement has got nothing to do with any discounts. The price I have quoted here is same as UK forum.

You also mention that you need 7 more before you will proceed - is this including the numbers signed up between both the FTOOC and FTO-Ireland ? Are we both joining up to make up the overall numbers here ?

I will threat both clubs(group buys) separately, which means that if we can get 15 people organised here then I can start the group buy without thinking about the UK one. If we cant reach 15 until the UK one starts, then I will merge the two together.

We already have 9 buyers, so this is looking very good.

[Kace]

Hey Max - regarding the colour of the stiching that we are specifying here. Does this refer to the large stitch down the side of each of the front seats ?

Also, is it possible to have matching stitches so that the grey leatherette has grey sticthing and the black leatherette has black stitching ?

6 more guys and we are ready to roll.

Aus group buy already started, and UK one is still pending.

Max, I don't think we'll get another 6 people on this list, bearing in mind that we're a smaller community than the UK and Auz owners clubs, can we not proceed with the existing numbers?

I'd tend to think this is as many as we're going to get, this is a tight knit group and most members would have seen this by now and expressed an interest if they wanted in.

Surely at the end of the day you are placing orders with your supplier for X number of kits to whatever specs are needed. I'm sure you want to get as many as you can, but that aside from a purely business perspective it shouldn't make any differnece to your supplier whether they are posting the final product to an Irish address or to a UK address, neither should that make any difference to the two groups involved.

What are the options if it stays at 9 or 10 over here, and realistically what sort of timeframe are you talking about for delivery.

Cheers

Max - while you're in answering mode can you also let me know the answers to above Q's

Guys,

UK group buy is about to start. I am having a great communication with the club. As a result, I will run both groups inlined together.
So, in a matter of days the action will start.

Production takes around 2 weeks and postage via Fedex is around 3-4 days max.

Sorry, didnt see this question.

Buyers can only define one stitching colour overall.

However, production is clever enough to figure out for regular black stitching that if dual colour seat covers ordered, inside section should have matching inside stitching colour.

If you ordering Black with grey inserts and black stitching, I can %99 guarantee you that grey leatherette will have grey stitching, just like the pictures in the first page.

FTO UK forum is down at the moment, in testing currently.
As soons as it is online again, both group buys will start.
